Swachh Bharat - Swachh Vidyalaya Campaign at St.Soldier Mohali

Cleanliness
is next to Godliness. Based on one of the tenets of Mahatma Gandhi ‘SWACHH
ABHIYAN’ or cleanliness drive is receiving a lot of attention nationwide.

The CBSE Board has also been taking concerted steps to promote awareness about sanitation in schools because children deserve good sanitary practices such as clean school toilets, clean surroundings, and complete information on hygiene. Hence an all-out
attempt was made at my son's school to have a clean environment.

The students of all age groups keenly participated to make it a grand success. To create
awareness about Mahatma Gandhi, ‘Best Dressed Gandhi’ competition was held for
the toddlers of Play Group to K.G.

Various
activities like washing of handkerchief/socks, polishing shoes, cleaning
bags , clipping the nails etc. on personal hygiene were conducted for Classes I & II students to teach them dignity of self-care.

Students
of the Music Club composed and sang songs on cleanliness in and around the
school led by toddlers dressed as Gandhi. Members of ‘Design for Change’ comittee took
an initiative to get the dump yard removed from the school’s vicinity.

The
members of the Health & Wellness club took the initiative of cleaning
the classrooms and the surrounding area of the school.The whole
school took a pledge to keep their surroundings clean and green.
